CLEvELAND's QUIET SUNDAY.
Unpleasant Weather Keeps Them
From Attending Church

MADISON, WIS, Oct. 9.-President and
Mrs. Cleveland have remained in their
quarters at the Villas mansion, resting all
day in preparation for the fatigues of an
other week of journeying. 1t was expected
that they would go to church this morning
and Mr. Villas pew in the Episcopal church
was reserved for them, but a heavy,
threatening sky and a raw, chilly wind,
fresh laden with spray from the lakes, mud
i'll the unpaved streets and clouds of falling
leaves from every tree top were forbidding.
while the CRATE fires in their parlors were
very tempting.
ALL BY THEMSELVES.
They have no one there except their
fellow travellers and members of the Villas
family, including the mother and brothers
of the Postmaster General, who were in
vited to family dinner with the President
and Mrs. Cleveland at o'clock. They could
not have been freer from interruption at
the White House or at Red Top than in
Madison. A little group of dozen or more
individuals have been seen nearly
all day in front of the mansion awaiting a
possible glimpse of them, but the towns
people FOR the most part have respected
their wish to be left in quiet. They will leave
here on special train at 9o'clock tomorrow
for st. Paul A concession has been made
to Lacrosse, at which point the train will
tarry about twenty minutes tomorrow
noon and the party will take carriages to
see the place and be seen by the people.

PHYSICIANS STILL DIVIDED AS TO

History of Broken Bone Fever Out
breaks.
WASHINGTON, Oct 9.-The Marine Hos
pital Bureau has received a telegram from
Deputy Collector Spencer, at Tampa, Fla,
of which the following is a copy: "There
are twenty-six cases in all. Two deaths
have occurred. 1t is questionable as to the
cause of the death of the two A majority
of the sick are convalescing. The town is
depopulated, and very little material is left
Doctors disagree as to whether the disease is
dengue or yellow fever"
PRECAUTIONS ADVISABLE.
DR.. George w. Stoner, Chief of the
Quarantine Division, says that if is it dengue
there is no cause for alarm nor necessity for
rigid quarantine, but if doubt exists it is
proper to act on the side of safety Dengue,
or as it is sometimes called break bone
fever, is very distressing infectious dis
ease. not contagious in the usual accepta-
ton of the term, and rarely fatal unless
complicated with other disease.
WHEN II p" 40 lDbhlC'
Dengue prevailed in the West Indies and
many places in the South about fifty years
ago and was prevalent in several Southern
cities in 1885, especially in Charleston,
where about four-fifths of the population
were attacked, but only few deaths rea-
lively occurred. In yellow fever, on the
other hand. the mortality is sometimes as
high as Is per cent, and if not controlled
by proper quarantine restrictions the
disease may spread from place to place
during warm weather. Frost kills it. DIR.
Htoner believes the disease at Tampa to be
yellow fever.
FUBIGATING THE MAILS.
The acting surgeon has also received the
following telegram;

THE BOTTOM FALLING OUT.
A. Tract on an Illinois Farm Slowly
Sinking Into the Earth.


CHICAGO, Oct. A correspondent of the
Herald at Sterling, ILL.,, tells the following
story: The people of this locality have been
for some time exercised over an earthly
phenomenon, visible about four miles due
north EIkhorn creek meanders for about
fifty miles through the most fertile portion
of this continent, emptying itself into Rock
river, miles west of Sterling. 1t is hard
by this stream that the phenomenon oc-
CURED, OF is occurring. 1t is a sinking of
the ground-a subsistence that has been
going on ever since April ID, 1856. On that
night Benz, Bressler, whose grist mill is run
by the waters of the Elkhorn, was awakene ed
by loud, rumbling noise, and by the rat
Ting of the windows as well as general
rocking of his little cottage. A few weeks
later, the frost having disappeared,
he instructed his hired man to plow a
small field lying on the south side of a road
running by his cottage, and was astonished
an hour later when the man informed him
that portion of the field had sunk ''3 or 4
feet" as he said, with great cracks along
side its edges what seemed to run clear down
to nowheres." And this was true. The
news soon spread, and many visited the spot
Interest in the phenomenon might have died
out, but the sinking has been slowly going
on ever since A day or two ago your
correspondent visited the depressed SPOT, and
observed that it was about inches lower
than when he saw it some three months
since. The depression is now about feet
i'm depth, and its east boundary is about 90
feet from the waters of the creek. Its great
est width is about IS feet, and its length,
north to south, about 500 feet. The 80 feet

area is not disturbed in the slightest. The

EMMA ABBOTT FLASHES FIRE.
A Clergyman's Attack on the Theatre
Denounced in His Own Church

A Clergyman's Attack on the Theatre
Denounced in His Own Church.
NASHVILLE, Oct. 9-McKendree church,
the leading Methodist Episcopal church of
this city, was the scene of quite a sensation
to-day. The pastor, Rev. w. A Gambler,
delivered a very severe and hitter sermon
on the subiAt of theatres. Miss Emma
Abbott occupied a seat in the rear of the
church, and at the conclusion of the sermon
arose, and in a short speech entered a pro-
test against the very general character of
the pastors Genunciation. 1t produced the
greatest sensation. and has since been the
one topic of conversation in the parlors,
family circles, upon the streets and in pub
lie places.
OPINION DIVIDED.
Many members of his church uphold the
pastor, but many others commend the
course of Miss Abbott. Her appearance
showed much suppressed indignation, but
her words were very clear and distinct and
were heard by all present. She declared
that the minister's charges were unfounded
and that her life was as free from blame as
that of any living woman. In all the operas
of the past week to which the minister re-
ferred, there was no impure or improper
thought. Great lights of the stage, such as
Jenny Lind, Modjeska, Albani and count
less others had been good women and
model wives and mothers.
HER OWN FAIR FAME.
She defied anyone to say that aught had
ever been said against the fair fame OF
Emma Abbott. There was considerable ap-
plause at the conclusion of her remarks.
Before it subsided Rev. Mr.. Gambler an
swered that he could not answer the lady,
because she was lady. During the day as
the affair became known, great many
ladies who had met Miss Abbott socially,
called on her and commended her spirited
defense of herself and her profession.
